I just moved to Marshall, MN. from the Twin Cities. I am not finding much luck with gluten-free foods. Anyone from here or live here? I'll make with what I can, but may have to load up on gluten-free food when I'm back in the cities. I'm so disappointed! Any ideas?

I googled out of curiosity and found this: "Katie Baier, RD, LD. Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center. Marshall Hy-Vee. 900 E. Main Street, Marshall, Minnesota 56258. 507-532-2247. kbaier@hy-vee.com. Katie offers gluten-free shopping tours, as well as personal shopping assistance to customers looking for gluten-free products and recipes."

at Open Original Shared Link

These sorts of lists are almost never up-to-date, but the fact that the local Hy-Vee employs or at one time employed a dietitian (or at least gave her an email address) seems like a promising sign.

My own recommendation for small-town living is to go the whole foods route (meats, vegetables, taters and rice) and not worry about foods specifically labeled gluten-free. Or befriend the Hy-Vee manager and ask him/her to order what you need.

Also also, people seem to be having good experiences with Wal-mart lately. Go figure.

I totally missed your response way back in late August. I'm sorry! Thanks so, so much for the information. I have come to terms that I may need to just stick with whole foods. I'm o.k. with that. My sister recently sent me a package from the Twin Cities filled with gluten-free bakery goodies. :) Isn't she the best? I just started shopping at Walmart because I was told all of their name brands will say gluten-free on it if it is. That saves so much hassle when shopping, so Walmart and I are getting friendly. :) Back in September I checked out HY-VEE website and they had a document specifically for gluten free people and it listed all of their items that were gluten free in their store. Awesome, huh? Even though I miss the wide-range of choices in the Twin Cities, I know I am good hands afterall. Thanks for the information. I am going to contact Katie. Never hurts to get more information to make the process easier.

I visited Marshall recently and found a very accomodating restaurant called, "The Hitching Post." I mentioned my gluten sensitivity to the waitor, and he said, "Say no more." He knew exactly what I needed...No buns! He was even so kind as to take a picture of my friend and I at the table. It was a very memorable experience.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
